Abstract: This application relates to audio driving circuitry (100), and in particular to audio driving circuitry for outputting first and second audio driving signals for driving a stereo audio load (106), which may be a stereo audio load of an accessory apparatus (102) removably coupled to the audio driving circuitry in use. A load monitor (111) is provided for monitoring to monitor, from a monitoring node (112), an indication of a common mode return current passing through a common return path, together with an indication of a common mode component of the first and second audio driving signals and to determine an impedance characteristic of the stereo audio load. The load monitor (111) can provide dynamic monitoring of any significant change in load impedance. In some embodiments the load monitor (111) comprises an adaptive filter (301) which adapts a parameter of the filter which is related to the load impedance so as to determine the indication of load impedance.

Abstract: A system may include a digital modulator configured to modulate an input signal received at an input of the digital modulator to generate a modulated input signal at an output of the digital modulator, a digital gain element having a digital gain and coupled to the digital modulator, an open-loop Class-D amplifier coupled to an output of the digital modulator and configured to amplify the modulated input signal, wherein the open-loop Class-D amplifier is powered from a variable power supply having a variable supply voltage which is variable in response to one or more characteristics of the input signal, and a control circuit configured to control the digital gain to approximately cancel changes in an analog gain of the open-loop Class-D amplifier due to variation in the variable supply voltage in response to the one or more characteristics of the input signal.

Abstract: An amplifier may include a first stage configured to receive an input signal at an amplifier input and generate an intermediate signal which is a function of the input signal, and a final output stage configured to generate an output signal which is a function of the intermediate signal at an amplifier output, and a signal feedback network coupled between the amplifier output and input. The final output stage may be switchable among a plurality of modes including at least a first mode in which the final output stage generates the output signal as a modulated output signal which is a function of the intermediate signal, and a second mode in which the final output stage generates the output signal as an unmodulated output signal which is a function of the intermediate signal. Structure of the feedback network and the first stage may remain static when switching between modes.
